capacity magazine and silencer. the shooter randomly targeted employees in the building. law enforcement responded immediately with a heavy presence. >> there were probably about 20 of us in an office, crammed in, and we barricaded the door. >> reporter: just as four police officers entered the building following the sound of gunfire. >> reporter: after a sustained running gun battle, the suspect was killed. cbs news has learned the weapon was purchased recently, locally, and legally by the suspect. additional weapons were recovered both at the scene of the massacre and here at craddock's home. >> i didn't think they would-- that i would come home and find out it was the man above me. >> reporter: james cervera has been the police chief here for more than four decades. this morning he told us that while the four-minute response time by police likely saved lives, no survivor will be unchanged. investigators say they do not know why craddock did it.

mass shooting in virginia beach. >> enough is enough. how many more of these tragedies do we have to see? >> we know it's not the last time this is going to happen, and washington's failure to act is costing lives. >> dream big! fight hard! >> reporter: more than a dozen presidential contenders are appearing at the california democratic convention in san francisco, the home town of house speaker nancy pelosi. >> good morning, california democrats! >> reporter: usually presidential candidates come here to the city of san francisco looking for campaign cash, but this year, with california voting on super tuesday, they have to come here looking for volunteers who will help them win votes. right after the first four primary states, california will award the biggest prize in the democratic contest: 495 delegates. and because most delegates will be awarded proportionally, several contenders could walk away with wins. >> always good to be home! >> reporter: california senator kamala harris, who grew up in the bay area, welcomes the competition.

two to four major storms. and as meg oliver reports, there's a storm brewing over competing technologies that some say could hinder crucial forecasts and put lives at risk. >> reporter: hurricane season is here, and with it, the potential for the next round of deadly and devastating storms. but this year, meteorologists say they're also keeping an eye on a new threat. >> 5g will change everything. >> reporter: the powerful cell phone network known as 5g, which will deliver information up to 100 times faster than today's mobile networks. >> we push speed as far as we can push it. >> this is a huge concern because we fear that advances in weather forecasting are at risk. >> reporter: meteorologists are concerned because some of the frequencies the federal communications commission plans to use for 5g are located next to the only frequency where weather satellites can detect water vapor, a critical component for accurate

forecasting. they worry the new 5g transmission will interfere with their weather data collection, making it less accurate. >> the milky shades of white and grey are water vapor. these are being detected from space. >> reporter: how critical is that data? >> the data is essential. 90% of data going into forecast models these days come from weather satellites. if you remove a good portion of that satellite data, you're crippling our ability to make accurate weather forecasts. >> reporter: the f.c.c. declined an on-camera interview, but a group representing the wireless industry calls the meteorologists' concerns "an absurd claim with no science," saying the weather sensor currently deployed is much less a lot ofeopl the wireless industry say these fears are overblown, they're all exaggerated. what's your response to that? >> i don't want to find out if they're overblown. i'm certainly in support of 5g and advanced telecommunications,

but let's have a conversation to make sure we're not setting weather forecasts back several decades. >> reporter: there is still time for a compromise before networks roll out 5g later this year. >> we don't want to move backward. we want to move forward with our weather prediction capability because lives, property, and even our national security, depend on it. >> reporter: noaa says accurate weather forecasting is worth $13 billion to the u.s. economy, but cell phone providers say 5g will add $274 billion. meteorologists fear losing some of this important data could set them back to the 1980s in terms of forecasting. reena. >> ninan: that explains the panic. meg, thank you. well, a dolphin delight off the coast of manhattan beach, california. dozens of dolphins riding the waves, surrounding surfers and body boarders, who said the animals were close enough to touch and hear as they snorted and whistled to each other under water. the joy ride lasted for almost an hour. coming up, how distracted

on. >> i have seen it where they pull out their phone, outside their window, start paying pictures not paying attention to the road. >> reporter: we rode with trooper patel as he hit the road in his patrol car for the first time since last december. did you have some nerves when you got in the car? yes, sir, in the morning. i still have butterflies in my belly. whenever you see the brakes squeeze really hard, you're always going to be back to be like, is he coming my way or not? >> reporter: trooper patel hopes to be back on full duty and out answering calls on the side of the roads here in the coming months. now, all 50 states have what's called a "move over" law that requires drivers to shift over a lane if they see emergency workers on the side of the road, but police say it's about 50-50 as to who follows that. bottom line, patel says, put your phone down. kris van cleave, cbs news, arlington, virginia. >> ninan: still ahead, how the west was won by women. women. and still going for my best,
